I was wandering has anyone played this ever? Well I managed to print all the figures and assemble them. Then I played a couple of games and realized that it really sucks.
First of all the turn system is awful. Theres too much brain dead marching becouse you move your troops 1 by 1. First your opponent moves 1 unit and then you move 1 unit. It just doesnt work.
And the squad system. Ohh. Fallout tactics didnt have that kinda squad system so why this one has to have it. Playing Fow is like playing a bad copy of Warhammer 40K/ Necromunda
Then unit stats. Mutants are useless, becouse movement and shooting is based on agility, it makes ghouls and mutants totally useless. If you are slow you cant use any guns. Sounds really logical.
I could type thousands of sentences about what sucks in Fow so I quite and start talking about whats good in it. I know that the game is free so chris taylor isnt responsible about this total bullshit . I still thought that it could have been more better than this. Ok lets move...
Fow has some really good things like burst templates. I love them. But one thing is really bad. How can you miss when firing with burst? Mutants have agility 3 so even with minigun I cant kill anyone. So the only usefull weapon is the RPG becouse even when it misses it can hit by scattering.
So do you agree with me or Am I the only one who thinks FOW sucks.
I still love the fallout so I didnt dump FOW into garbage. Instead I started to make my own rules for it. I made it more charecteristic based game than squad based becouse I think the squad thing doesnt fit. I also made some major fixes to the turn system. I changed almost everything but not the weapons becouse I think they are the best what FoW has.
Im going to release my home rules on this week for FoW so you could have more better gaming experience.
Feel free to type some of your own home rules.
